State legislators to receive Stop the Bleed training

02/28/2018 - 02/28/2018

Location

Description

Stop the Bleed training, which trains bystanders to be immediate volunteer responders and act quickly in the event of a trauma to save lives until professional emergency responders can arrive on the scene.

Trauma is the number one cause of death for Arkansans between the age of 1 and 45. The first five minutes after a trauma are crucial. Immediate volunteer responders who are trained in Stop the Bleed techniques can make a life or death difference to a person who is injured. They are able to provide basic trauma care before professional responders arrive on the scene. Arkansas is leading the nation in the training of law enforcement, school personnel, and the public in these techniques. At this event, state legislators will be trained in these life-saving techniques.
